Celebrating Life Around The Table
I am off an adventure for a few days in Minneapolis. I look forward to sharing it with you next week. The weather is warming up and you know what that means-grill time! I already have been grilling quite a bit. For Mother’s Day I grilled Teriyaki Steaks and Chicken that were marinated in a [...]
Did you think I had abandoned ship? It has been quite the month and not necessarily in a good way. I worked 24 days straight in preparation for a huge event at my day job and then a family member got very sick. In those moments nothing else really matters. Even in the midst of [...]
I have a treat for you today. Angela Reed, The Parisienne Farmgirl, is here to share her recipe for Lemon Pepper Pasta with you. I met her online earlier this year and was delighted to be included in her debut issue of The Parisienne Farmgirl Magazine. I shared recipes for Green Pea Soup, Goat Cheese [...]
A few weeks ago when I was doing a story about CSA’s, Community Supported Agriculture, I ended up with a lot of produce to create with. I think I have mentioned before I’m a bit of a picky eater, but the beautiful produce inspired me to try a bunch of new recipes. One of them [...]
I have been on a popover kick lately. I still have a sweet one to share with you but my latest was a savory cheddar cheese rosemary. It would be a perfect bread with Easter Ham or in our case a barbecue. A few weeks ago I went to a meeting of local food bloggers. [...]
Easter is coming up so my niece and I decided to make these cute Nutella egg nests. Being an aunt is such a blessing. I am reminded of that each weekend when we hang out together. The boys have long outgrown cooking, but still welcome being taste testers and critics! A few weeks ago they [...]
The days seem to be fly together, today is Palm Sunday and April1. Doesn’t it just seem like we were celebrating New Year’s? Usually we are having warm balmy days here in Southern California but it has been cold and rainy of late. I’ve been baking a great deal so I was craving protein and [...]
Mad Men is back this week! Is anyone having a Mad Men party? I should have some crazy retro recipe but instead I have these luscious and light Honey Grapefruit Cupcakes with Honey Buttercream. Remember the honey from my niece’s birthday party? Well, I thought I would bake something with it. I love this honey. [...]
Sometimes you want a little something, a little snack. Here is a healthy, quick snack you can make for yourself or a crowd. Try snap peas roasted with lemon, garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Roasting them brings out the flavor but keeps the crispness to the peas. Enjoy! Print Roasted Snap Peas [...]
I had these yummy, light and healthy new chicken dish I cooked for my friend Laurie’s birthday last week. I realized tonight that in a quick moment at my nephews game yesterday I deleted all my photos. So, no chicken for you today! My grandmother always made this whipped strawberry jello and cool whip salad [...]
